Description
Upstream Release Monitoring
2011-08-13 10:10:59 UTC
Latest upstream release: 1.9.1 Current version in Fedora Rawhide: 1.8.3 URL: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdbm/ Please consult the package updates policy before you issue an update to a stable branch: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy More information about the service that created this bug can be found at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upstream_release_monitoring Please update it to 1.9, fedora release(1.8.3) is NINE years old. -thanks- CHANGELOG: Version 1.9.1 * Bugfix Improperly used preprocessor directive caused compilation failure when using gcc 4.4.4 or newer. Version 1.9, 2011-08-12 * Use of mmap To speed up I/O operations, mmap(2) is used when available. It can be disabled at compile time using --disable-memory-mapped-io, and at run time by giving GDBM_NOMMAP flag to gdbm_open. * Changes in compatibility mode The changes below fix several long-standing bugs in ndbm compatibility code, which made it impossible to use GDBM with Sendmail and Postfix. Now that they are fixed, GDBM can be used with these MTAs. ** Locking is disabled. Neither ndbm nor dbm functions lock their files. This bug was reported, in particular, in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=663932 ** Do not link pag to dir. Instead of linking pag to dir as previous versions did, GDBM now creates a separate dir file. Consequently, dbm_pagfno and dbm_dirfno return different file descriptors. When opening an existing database as a writer, GDBM determines if dir is linked to pag, and if so breaks the link and creates a new dir file. When such a database is opened in a read-only mode, GDBM does not attempt to alter the link. * gdbm_setopt New options are implemented for use with gdbm_setopt function. In particular, a set of options is provided for retrieving various database parameters, such as the file name, memory mapping status, etc. * The testgdbm program is installed Testgdbm is an interactive tool for manipulating GDBM database files. It allows you to view or update existing databases, export them to the portable flat file format and to create new database files. * A testsuite is provided. * Improved documentation. (In reply to comment #2) > Please update it to 1.9, fedora release(1.8.3) is NINE years old. I'm already working on it ;) The new version gdbm-1.9.1 is now in Rawhide. |
